| Description: | Film is damaged. 2,000 Buddhist Monks riot in Saigon as they continue their attempt to unseat the regime of Premier Tran Van Huong. They didn't like President Diem. They didn't like the military regime. And now they are asking for a greater voice in cabinet affairs. Premier Huong says he has offered seats to Buddhists, but they have refused. Observers say that the Buddhists are unwittingly playing the game of Communist Viet Cong. Buddhist Monks and Nuns holding a protest in the streets of Saigon.
